00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.776
Here is the problem: 11.1 g of CaCl2 is dissolved in water to make 250 mL of solution. What is the molarity?

2
00:00:10.226 --> 00:00:13.883
Molarity is moles of solute per litre of solution.

3
00:00:14.683 --> 00:00:16.587
Molar mass of CaCl2.

4
00:00:17.037 --> 00:00:18.767
Convert grams to moles.

5
00:00:19.217 --> 00:00:21.017
Convert the volume to litres.

6
00:00:21.467 --> 00:00:23.627
Molarity is moles per litre.

7
00:00:24.427 --> 00:00:30.662
So the answer is M equals 0.400079 mol/L.

8
00:00:31.112 --> 00:00:43.802
Molarity (mol/L, written M) uses the volume of the whole solution, not of the solvent alone. To make a solution, weigh the solute, dissolve it in less solvent, then top up to the final volume.

9
00:00:44.602 --> 00:00:56.282
n equals MV: 0.400079 times 0.25 equals 0.10002 mol, which checks out.
